Work-life balance: factor of influence on the heir's decision to take over a family business

U radu se analizira potreba uspostavljanja zdrave ravnoteže između sfera privatnog i poslovnog života, te problemi koji dolaze prilikom usklađivanja oba aspekta života mlade osobe. Također, provjerava se mogućnost inovativnog djelovanja mladih nasljednika unutar obiteljskih poduzeća. Ravnoteža privatnog i poslovnog života sve se više gubi u svakodnevnim životima, a mladi su zbog toga prvi na udaru. Njihovo neiskustvo u poslovnom životu može dovesti do loše ravnoteže koja će uzrokovati ozbiljne probleme u aspektu privatnog života. Stoga, uspješno inovativno djelovanje unutar obiteljskih poduzeća neće samo pomoći poduzeću u ostvarivanju poslovnih ciljeva, već će također pomoći mladima unijeti više samopouzdanja što će se reflektirati kroz uspješan sklad privatnog i poslovnog života. Rezultati ovoga rada mogli bi pomoći mladima u postizanju zdrave ravnoteže privatnog i poslovnog života te u stvaranju prostora za vlastito inovativno djelovanje u obiteljskom poduzeću.In this paper, the necessity of achieving a healthy balance between the spheres of private life and business life has been analysed, including the problems associated with young people who are attempting to balance these aspects of their lives. Another evaluated aspect was the possibility of innovative actions by young heirs within family-run businesses. The balance of private and business life is becoming increasingly lost in the everyday lives of people, and young people are most affected by that development. Their inexperience in business matters may lead to a disbalance, which will cause serious issues in their private lives. Therefore, successful innovative actions within family-run businesses will not only help the business achieve its business goals, it will also help young people be more confident, which will reflect in the successful balance between their private lives and business lives. The results of this paper may assist young people in achieving a healthy balance between their private and business lives, and in creating their own innovative actions within their family businesses
